    Character Evaluation

    Clive Owen is a masculine actor, he will not talk about the hard life as a child and show sympathy   . His white teeth are so sly when he smiles, provocation and contempt are even more stubborn regulars on that handsome face. His sturdy and burly figure more or less spoils the gentleness. His black curly hair is very rough, but his eyes are very stubborn. Gentle, so he has a very complex temperament, not only like a British nobleman who is extremely enthusiastic about golf and beach sunshine, but also like a personable Italian gang. He loves those dangerous and marginal characters more than the benefits of fame Tencent Entertainment Comprehensive Evaluation).

    The Boys Are Back quotes

    • Harry: [opening the car door] Wow, it's boiling!

      Joe Warr: Oh, this is nothing. It's not proper summer here until the steering wheel's too hot to hold.

    • Joe Warr: I run a pretty loose ship. Basically I've found that the more rules there are, the more crimes are created. So, fewer rules. Fewer, but bigger rules. No interrupting adults...

      Harry: Why not?
